}Explanation
Use this converter when you need the weight of olive oil from a teaspoon measure. It keeps the kitchen answer direct: 1 teaspoon of olive oil is about 4.5 grams in this converter.
That makes it useful for dressings, marinades, sauté recipes, and nutrition-style logging when oil is measured by spoon but tracked by weight. Different oils can vary slightly in density, so this page keeps one olive-oil-specific teaspoon factor for consistency.
Olive Oil uses a recorded reference of 216 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: density ~0.91 g/mL × 236.588 mL
Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Liquid composition and temperature can change density. Match the named ingredient and recorded source basis; weigh a serving when actual mass is required.
